Global packaging leader ProAmpac is strengthening its operational footprint in Ireland with a major expansion of its Food Board manufacturing capabilities at the Donegal campus. The new purpose-built production area is designed to increase capacity, improve precision, and deliver tailored solutions for food packaging applications.

The expansion builds on existing operations that serve the pet food, food-to-go, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) markets. A state-of-the-art guillotine system has been installed to ensure cleaner cuts and consistent board quality, allowing ProAmpac to meet the high standards demanded by its customers.

Key enhancements of the Donegal facility include a dedicated customer service team to provide responsive support, streamlined operations for shorter lead times, and flexible product options across a range of board thicknesses from 190gsm to 800gsm. These improvements enable precise and reliable production for seafood, poultry, meat, and confectionery packaging.

“The expansion of our Food Board manufacturing within Donegal reflects our ongoing investment in quality, service, and innovation,” said John McDermott, operations director of Ireland & DACH at ProAmpac. “By enhancing our capabilities at this site, we’re better positioned to support customers with increased speed, precision, and reliability.”

The facility upgrade complements ProAmpac’s existing production of printed and unprinted vacuum pouches, creating a one-stop solution for chilled and prepared foods such as smoked salmon, fresh fish portions, poultry fillets, and confectionery items.

This investment demonstrates ProAmpac’s commitment to operational excellence, technical innovation, and customer-first service. By combining advanced manufacturing techniques with sustainable materials, the company is reinforcing its leadership in the European food packaging sector while providing flexible and high-quality solutions to its global customer base.
